"Mad Men" quotes

There were some good ones from last season.
I wrote them down, but not sure where I put the note.
I'm going to look again because they were funny!

I found the note! : )
The quotes might be from Season 2, but I think they're from Season 3.
Regardless they are good.
There are THREE!

1. Betty talking with Don about their daughter Sally (she's 9 maybe)
Don had been working on some home improvement project.
B: She's taken to your tools like a little lesbian.

2. Peggy to her co-worker, Pete
He's also former lover & father of child she gave up for adoption
P: Stop coming in here & infecting me with your anxiety!

3. Pete to a sales clerk at women's dress section at a large NYC department store
P: I want to see the manager.
SC: of the entire store?
P: of the Republic of Dresses ... your service is falling short.

We're slightly behind in Season 4, catching up on our DVR.
We recently watched the 8-15-10 episode.
Peggy had some good lines.

1. Talking with Don's assistant, Allison
He slept with A after a drunken Christmas party.

P: I don't know what you think happened, but it didn't.
Your problem is NOT my problem.

2. Talking with a young Life magazine staffer who is a lesbian
Joyce tried to kiss Peggy.

P: I have a boyfriend.
J: He doesn't own your vagina.
P: Well, he's renting it.

AWESOME! I love this show. Good times in the 1960's!
It won another Emmy tonight. : )

Sheryl Crow's Eco Tour

She is so cool!
Jai sent me an email about this recently.
I'll find it & post the information.
Really neat stuff!

Sheryl’s list of backstage eco-specifications include the following:

• Reusable water containers/water coolers (no single use plastic bottles)
• Recycling containers for glass, paper, plastic & aluminum (at concert venue & backstage)
• Organic, locally-sourced food served on reusable plates (no petroleum-based items)
• Meals from a restaurant in planet-friendly containers (styrofoam use limited or avoided)
• Snacks must include multiple flavors of hummus, chips & salsa, fresh/dried fruit, veggies, nuts & “good quality dark organic chocolate”

Eco-suggestions for the concert venue include:

• purchasing sustainable energy credits
• installing energy efficient CFLs
• refraining from idling vehicles
• using chemical-free, planet-friendly cleaning/paper supplies

SC also offers purchasing suggestions on where green products are available (i.e. Target, Whole Foods & Repurpose Compostables). "Crow is one of those rare artists who feels that no matter your position on global warming, “you still have an obligation to leave this planet better than you found it.”

Truly walking the talk!

Sea sponges and Glad Rags

Women - look into them!
Eco-friendly AND cheaper overall eventually.
A little adjustment required, but really wonderful products.
All I'm going to write today.

Mandatory Breastfeeding

This is an interesting concept.

Gisele Bunchen, international model, married to Tom Brady (NFL quarterback), & new mom, spoke recently about the need for law mandating breastfeeding. The $*%# hit the fan.
It is fascinating how the topic is such a hot button of controversy.

I am a SERIOUS advocate for breastfeeding.
There are many reasons why women decide not to breastfeed their child.
However, there are so many positive reasons to breastfeed.

With laws, there are so many challenges, especially in this case, enforcement.
It's a very personal experience.
Breastfeeding is definitely healthier for a woman & her baby.

More support & education is needed.
That way women can make the commitment & be successful at breastfeeding.

Gisele - use your famous position for advocacy.
Channel your passion in that direction!

World Breastfeeding Week - August 2-9

Women around the world feed their babies in the same way. Awesome!

39 & Holding

I'm 40!
It's a BIG deal.
How has that many years gone by? ! : )

2 stories about 39 & Holding:

Yesterday when I went to the Y I used one of the machines as usual.
You can enter your data (weight and age).
Last day to enter 39.
When I go to the Y next week, I won't do that part in my exercise routine.
I can pretend for a little longer.

Second story involves the "39 & Holding" mug.
My mom gave it to my step-father, Rich, years ago.
It has a history of being passed from person to person.
Bonnie gave it to us in 2007.
So we could give it to our friend, Kevin, who turned 40 in April.
Kevin gave it to Jai in September when he turned 40 that year.
We gave it to Anne Marie, Kevin's wife, this year when she turned 40.
You know the rest - they gave it to me today at my birthday dinner.

Full circle ... however, I don't really need another mug.
I'm not really a hot beverage drinker.

Therefore I'm going to pay it forward in the future. : )
